Hi,

I just install 2.2.2 in a Red Hat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.16 on ext 3 + lvm.

The problem are the locks!!!!!!

I've 5 users working in .dbf + cdx (foxpro) files with an 16 bits
application. It accesses to the files via DAO 2.0.  A lot of times in
the days the users gets 'currently locked' messages when the application
open the dbf's files with read only access!

I desactivated the oplocks, but the error continues.

With the oplocks activated I get file corruptions inside the dbf's. For
example, one dbf was truncated to exactly 65kb...

We work with Folio Infobase files. Now, when 2 users access to the same
record the second user get the locked messagge 30 sec after the locked
happened. This error happen on NT 4 +sp5/6 but it doesn't happen on
Windows 2000

All these programs work perfectly with Novell and Windows file servers.

We can't use samba 2.0.7 because the security is setted to domain.

I upgraded to 2.2.3a but the errors continue happening.

If someone can suggest *anything*, I'll be really happy to listen
him/her. If someone need that I test anything I have hardware to do so.

I send you my smb.conf file.

Please, CC me :-)

Pablo
